Santa Strikes Again!!! Lucky girl!

Another great Holiday at the Morrissey's in New Jersey. Keira had a great second Christmas and loved being around all of the family and playing with MacKenzie and Lucy. Santa found his way to Grammy and Grandpa's a second time and brought lots of fun gifts.

OOOOOHHHHH......

AAWWWWWEEEE....

What a smile!!!

FASTER, Daddy, Faster!!!

Ok, let's go warm up! Brrr...

Christmas at Home

We celebrated Christmas a couple days early at home in Arkansas. Santa didn't mind making the early visit for a very good little girl! She got her pink retro kitchen, a baby doll bed, a fishing pole, some veggies and food for her kitchen, as well as, some pots and pans and a sandwich making kit.

Thanksgiving 2009

What a great way to spend time with the family and on Thanksgiving, but on a farm! Uncle Jim and Auntie Bernadette's farm at "The Forks" outside of Charlotte, North Carolina. We saw beautiful horses, rode around on gators, went shooting and ate like champions! All while visiting with friends and family.

Here are some great moments captured from November:

Keira becoming a serious artist.

Halloween

Keira absolutely loved Halloween! She had so much fun running around and going door to door. She loved looking at everyone's decorations and she loved the kids coming to the door. Her facial expressions were priceless!

Here she is all dressed up! She was a little unsure of the costume at first!

Making her way to the door, she was excited about this. She had her little bag in hand, it was so cute!

Our neighbor Ricky was peeking out the door when he saw Keira coming! She loved to stop and look at all the decorations.

First peice of candy...

More decorations to look at!

OK! Success! Lets get to the next house, QUICK!

Clutching her bag while running to the next house...

...still running

Victory! That was fun!

And then she got to hand out the candy, she loved this part equally. She loved to see all the kids costumes.

August 2009

Keira has enjoyed being "1" and is having a blast. She is more like one going on three! Here she noticed her reflection in the car and was having fun making faces.

Riding her big girl bike

Facing forward in her car seat now!

Enjoying some lunch! She loves making new faces!

August 11, 2009 Keira's First Birthday!

Keira's First birthday was so much fun!!! We had the house decorated from head to toe with cupcakes and candy! Keira knew there was a party and she was the best little hostess, greeting all of her guests at the door and socializing with everyone.
